Let's not even talk about my failed promises for this blog, okay?
Now that November has arrived, it is time to make gifts for the holidays. And since it is already November 3rd, I am a whole two days behind schedule, because as soon as those pumpkins get thrown into the compost by their respectable owners, or smashed by some totally badass kids, Christmas is shoved down everyone's throat with commercials of Santa, snowmen and douglas firs, all lined up and dancing like the Rockettes. I guess I don't really mind, the holiday season does have a somewhat cozy feeling to it, dancing trees and all. So anyways, I am starting my gift crafting by completing this giant granny square blanket I began making months ago, and then forgot about (what a surprise, I, Claudia, began something and neglected it. How unlike me). I worked on it for about two hours tonight, and didn't seem to get very far because it takes about 20 minutes for me just to complete one side at this point.
Christmas gift #1,
about half way to completion.
The blanket will be for Graeme's youngest niece Emma, who is about 7 months old, this will be her first Christmas.

I love you and your often neglected blog. You are the best thing to happen to the internet since roll-over sound effects!
Such high praise! And so much to live up to...
I love you too!!
Don't be so hard on yourself. The blanket is beautiful and your intention is purely from the heart--that makes it wonderful.
Love,
Mum
oh wow oh wow oh wow...you actually said "I, Claudia." a girl after my own heart.
